    I really can't think why the Nvidia Driver plugin should cause such an issue.

     

    Me neither... But thank Flying-Spaghetti-Monster and Invisible-Pink-Unicorn, I got just it running again on the old stick.

    I had a lot of devices in the boot sequence in BIOS and threw out everything but the USB stick.

    That solved it. Very strange.

     

    Thank you very very much for your help... I posted a similar post before posting here in the General Forum, but got no replies at all 😕

    • Do you have a backup from your USB Boot device? If yes you can simply create a new USB Boot device with the USB Creator Tool for Unraid and replace the whole "config" from your backup with the on the new USB Boot device.
       
    • You can also try to download the latest release (as time of writing 6.11.5) from here and replace only the bz* files in the root of the USB Boot device with the ones from your archive, maybe this will fix the issue but I would recommend that you buy a new USB Boot device since it is likely that something corrupted the files.

     

    Did you by any chance change anything in the BIOS or in the config from your USB Boot device?

     

    I had a second USB Stick lying around (bought 2 back in the day), so I used the USB Flash Creator and manually copied back the config folder.

    Unfortunately, I now get the same issue from that stick. Stuck on the blinking cursor again.

     

    Now I am a bit stuck... can my HW be faulty? It was running fine before.

    I have ECC RAM, so I suppose RAM shouldn't be an issue.

     

    Man.... this s*cks.

    Does it go immediately to a blinking cursor and display nothing?

    On what machine are you running Unraid?

     

    Deleting the plugin folder and .cfg didn't help.

    It directly goes in to a blank screen/blinking cursor after "Loading /bzroot".

     

    So... I guess something else is wrong with the stick... how do I recover from that?

    I've been running Unraid on a Supermicro CSE-848 for nearly 3 years now.

    Boot stick is a Kingston data traveler 16 GB - if that makes any difference.

    Hi all

     

    I had the plugin and drivers working a while back, but upgraded to 6.11.5 a while back and didn't bother to install/reinstall the drivers again.

    In a state of temporary mental derangement, I clicked "Install latest driver" from the plugin page today and waited until I got the reboot message. 

    Unfortunately, my system now won't boot anymore.... it only goes past "Loading /bzroot....", but then I only get a blinking cursor on an otherwise empty screen.

    What did I do wrong? How can I revert back to the state before, where at least my unraid was running smoothely?

     

    Thank you and kind regards,

    6.11.5 No boot after Nvidia driver install [solved]

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by SnakeZZ
    Solved

    Hello everybody,

     

    I used to run the Nvidia plugin a while ago (>10 months). Later, I did some Unraid Updates and didn't care to install the drivers again at that time, so I essentially didn't use it anymore.

    Today, I tried installing the NVidia driver through the plugin page again (by installing the latest driver).

    When the plugin asked me to reboot, I did so, but now the server won't come back up again.

     

    I can see the boot menu come up, and after 5 secs, I get 

    Loading /bzImage... OK
Loading /bzroot...

    and after that I only have a blinking cursor on an otherwise blank screen.

     

    Is there a way of going back to the previous, running state?

     

    I tried:

    • booting in Safe Mode (no success)
    • taking all GPUs except the onboard one out (didn't make a change)

     

    Thank you and kind regards,

    VLAN/Docker

    in Deutsch

    Hallo Zusammen,

     

    ich habe bei mir VLANs konfiguriert und ein VLAN 4 mit Interface br0.4 angelegt.

    Wenn ich nun ein Dockerimage mit br0.4 nutze, bekommt das die IP 192.168.4.2.

    Wie wird die IP vergeben? Eine DHCP Lease sehe ich jedenfalls nicht.... ?!?

    Hab ich das richtig gelesen, dass Docker kein DHCP 'kann'?

    Wo setze ich die IP für das Interface auf eine andere IP?

     

    Gruss,

    Hello,

     

    I haven't updated the Macinabox Docker for ages (way before the "How to Install Big Sur and Other macOS Versions with New Macinabox" video came out). I am also running a Catalina VM I created a long time ago.

    I tried finding instructions on how to upgrade my existing VM, but with >2070 posts in this topic, I was unsuccessful 😞

    Are there some instructions around somewhere?

     

    Thank you and kind regards,

    Supermicro X10QBI with 2 of 4 CPUs installed... All PCI slots usable?

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Dear interwebs,

     

    I've had an X10QBI with 2 processors up and running on Unraid for a while now.

    (Example Picture here: https://www.directdial.com/dd2/img/item/B-Large/M/MBD%2DX10QBI%2DP.jpg,

    manual here https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/C606_602/MNL-1802.pdf)

     

    I've used up the PCI slots on the left hand side (the ones marked with CPU1 and CPU2 PCI-e).

    I wanted to install an additional GPU in the remaining PCI-e slots marked with CPU3 and CPU4.

    Is that possible with a 2-CPU configuration or would I actually need the 3rd and/or 4th CPU to be

    installed in the system?

     

    Kind regards,

    Passthrough Secondary Nvidia Card?

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    Hi!

     

    I'm always reading about passing through a primary Nvidia Card.

    Since I'm using the remote KVM of my motherboard, I need to have that as primary

    otherwise, remote KVM stays blank...

    So - is there anything that I need to watch out for when passing through a secondary GPU?

    How about a ROM? Do I always need that?

     

    Kind Regards,
